Chapter 63 The King's Animation Paradise Project
When talking about the animation industry around the world, some people say that it is Miyazaki Hayao's Ghibli number one, and the reputation of artistic animation is praised by the whole world. Every work is recognized as an animation treasure all over the world. However, some people say that although Ghibli is strong in art, Dinis is still strong in business development. It is a company that truly brings the animation industry to its extreme.
Wang Huan also believes that Dinis is very powerful in the development of business, but Dinis's industry is actually not just animation but more of all industries aimed at teenagers. The goals are very professional and targeted. Most of its industry is a competitive relationship with the other party. It is also the only company in Hollywood film companies that does not like to cooperate with Wang Huan. Not to mention that Dinis suffers a lot in animated films, especially in recent years, it has basically not been able to form enough competitiveness to overcome Wang Huan's animation film industry.
Wang Huan was eyeing Disney's most profitable business, that is Disneyland. As the world's largest theme park, Disneyland's money-making ability and publicity ability cannot be underestimated. Disney is in full swing before his rebirth. It can be imagined that at that time, there will be many people coming to visit the Magic instead of having to go to Xiangdao, which has a natural advantage in price consumption.
Can't China have its own theme park? No! There are also! But it has not been made into a climate and scale. In the final analysis, the external conditions and internal excavation are not enough. Disney has accumulated many years of experience in amusement parks. It has improved from details to now become a collection of food, drink, play and blending everything that is most popular among young people and children's culture.
Wang Huan also has the best conditions. If other Chinese people want to build theme parks, they can only use the help of Chinese myths and stories. Although they also have a certain historical and cultural heritage, they are not deeply rooted in people's hearts. The cultural heritage of a park determines how playable it is. Wang Huan's large number of animations and comics can form distinctive themes, fantasy, science fiction, fairy tale, city, history. These things can all be found in representative works.
Wang Huan felt that so many works that fans liked could each form a unique cultural area and entertainment method, such as the infinite horror journey. If high-tech is used well, you can use 3D technology to give the most real experience and excitement, or a horror house that blows lights. Of course, this depends on whether the technology can be done, but this idea is correct. However, such a park is extremely costly to build, and the return on investment is not particularly fast. Although he can do it alone, why not join the collaborator? This time, he took advantage of the opportunity of the conference to discuss it with the bosses of two magazines. The investment risk can be much smaller under resource sharing.
"Brother! Your plan is too huge? Where is the amusement park built? Yunnan or Hunan? It's not your hometown?" Prince Li, the owner of Capital Comics, said with a smile. He didn't mention first-tier cities at all. Although it is easy to attract a large number of tourists in these cities, the cost is too high.
"No! The first one must be in an influential big city. I think the Magic City is good. Isn't it rumored that Disney plans to get one in Magic City? Although it's just a rumor. But there's no wind or waves. There's always such a plan. If we don't take the opportunity to start early, it's too late to wait for Disney to start. Why should we let others eat alone in our market? We have enough resources in this regard. It's easy to say that it's capital, it's not difficult to build a theme park that is the best in Asia, and there's absolutely no shortage of customers."
Wang Huan became more and more excited as he spoke. He estimated that he could not afford to pay tens of billions of dollars in funding. It is said that Disney had a plan of 40 billion yuan. Before he was reborn, he had an investment of more than 20 billion yuan and a loan of 12.9 billion yuan. Although he could afford it himself, it was too dangerous. It would be better to take two companies as allies. He could not help other companies to see if there were anyone willing to take action. Loans and other things are also necessary. It is not that he is too ambitious, but that the success rate of this plan is extremely high. Not to mention the tourism markets such as the Golden Week will tell him the scale of the future China tourism and entertainment industry.
The three of them were silent for a moment. Wang Huan had to give the other party a certain amount of time to think. After all, this is not a small amount of money. The main force's funds even need Wang Huan to give out. However, if everyone borrows assets as prying poles, it is not difficult to get a loan. It will not squeeze out their capital chain. For fear that something big will affect the construction or the shortage of customers will be insufficient after opening. This may drag down the company's rope!
"This is just a thought for me? I want to see the complete plan. This is not a trivial matter. We need time to evaluate it."
Wang Huan also nodded in agreement. Such a large planned investment may occupy half of his current assets. This cannot be said and just said it. It requires a perfect plan and market research. What everyone is a businessman needs to do is to try to see the risks as clearly as possible and get the maximum profit.
"Of course! This is just a preliminary idea. The plan is not there yet. I just discuss it with the two brothers. Even a large-scale investment park requires us to work together to complete it. As long as the two do not have much objection to this plan, the plan and subsequent things will be sent to you within a few months. If you agree, we are communicating."
The next time is boring. The so-called summit forum is actually a battlefield where two major interests collectively divide their territory. Conservative old forces are afraid that the new forces will invade their jobs after the influence of a certain extent. At present, they cannot make or are willing to make cartoon products that teenagers like, but the other party can easily get the food in their jobs. They are in a fearful mind and do not want the other party to become bigger. This is why they provoke trouble and attempt to suppress the new forces. However, they can't stand it and want to be their own rich man.
When Wang Huan was very angry when he saw that it was these old people. He had not yet learned how to smile and not smile. These well-dressed old guys knew what animation was? The real older generation of animation masters did not participate in it, such as the group of old people in the Magic City. Only these stupid guys who were less than half a bottle of water kept talking and calculating themselves for their little profits. The current situation is like a person with a net worth of millions of dollars desperately calculating with a person with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars. The problem is that people can look up to your millions of dollars?
But this is the Celestial Empire, not right! Even other countries are still like this, the old and unwilling things are still struggling to counterattack, but they will not reflect on why their failures are, and they will only blame the audience for not understanding. When new culture comes, they desperately slander them and belittle them in an attempt to delay their disappearance. No matter that country, it has happened. However, this situation is extremely difficult to eliminate only under the influence of the deep-rooted historical influence of feudal dynasty such as the Celestial Empire. However, no matter what, Wang Huan has already built the teenage cartoon market, and the next step is to slowly cultivate talents. These things will naturally disappear after the update, or many young Chinese animation people once again took out these things to reflect on them, which is quite fresh.
"Cheers!" Wang Huan, who won a great victory, raised his wine glasses and many young people from the new animation industry. According to the news broadcast, this summit meeting was that the two sides completed a scene remembered by history in a friendly and peaceful atmosphere. No matter what, let these guys stay with their young works and make a living. Even if it is one percent, the young cake in this huge cake is not as good as one percent. Who would care about it?
This conference has a profound impact. The biggest reason is that it has cleared the obstacles to development. Those young people who want to join this career will not worry about whether they are forced to deviate from their ideals. Not many young people engage in animation to create the best, that is, the level of Pleasant Goat, and they also need to pursue their lives. Everyone is engaged in the animation industry and look at others in Japan. Why do we have to be trash? And be ridiculed by our own people?
After all, the big reason for the downturn in the future of China's animation industry is that young students are unwilling to learn, and even if they learn, they will not engage in the cartoon industry. They use this technology to do other things. China's cartoons are almost stinking. If it is more extreme, they can be said like this.
After returning to the headquarters, Wang Huan made his secrets start to move. In addition, his directly affiliated think tank began to make a draft plan, and then began to convene meetings of general managers of various branches. There were not many such meetings and the time was very short. If it was not important, most of them were conveyed by email. Some of them needed discussions could be communicated through confidential internal networks. Modern offices are very common in this company. He does not want his company to be overly accustomed to bureaucracy. It is very important to maintain vitality and hunger. Jobs is Wang Huan's role model.
"Please come here to be an important opportunity for the group's next development direction. Let's see the plan." Wang Huan signaled his female secretary from Harvard University, one of the Ivy League colleges in the United States, to send a document. She and Wang Huan are still in an alumni relationship, of course, they are several years older than him. Not to mention their outstanding abilities, they are over 90 years old. The company has a lot of suitors, and the younger brothers who will send flowers tomorrow will come to make several groups. Wang Huan used this to make fun of her.
Although these business elites cannot be versatile, they are naturally familiar with Disney, which is similar to the business of the General Group. They are naturally aware of Disneyland's practices. Not to mention that the resources they have can indeed perfectly refer to Disneyland's practices to become disruptors or even competitors. There is hope. At least they do not have this ability and hope in their base camps in China and even in Asia.
"President! Although this plan is very good, we don't have much experience in this area! Is it better to find some relevant talents, and it is best to have participated in the design and planning of large theme parks?"
The director of the Personnel Department of the General Group spoke first. He was very smart in this regard. Since the boss was planning to do it, as a subordinate, he had to worry about the boss's thoughts first. Since it was a new company and project, it was natural that professional talents should be led by the development. As the personnel department, he had to start working hard to dig up a senior talent to serve.
"Yeah! You do it in this regard! I believe that Manager Yicheng will select outstanding talents from his perspective." Wang Huan has a limited impression of this manager, but now he seems to be a talent. Although he doesn't seem to be a moral character and only knows how to match the boss, he is not a relevant professional. If there is any risk, he doesn't need to say anything. He is able to perfectly understand the boss's intentions and give him professional help.
"Boss, the possibility of this plan being successful is very high. But one thing is that the Magic City may not be able to support it. I have some news about this. It is said that the Magic City government still tends to cooperate proposed by Disney. Although it is only some of the preliminary communications that are not enough to reach the beginning of the cooperation, it is enough to make the Magic City reject us. After all, they are far from being famous and experienced!"
Next, Wang Huan listened very attentively to the suggestions of several senior executives of the group, and was very supportive of the branch. After all, it was done by Tonghe and some of their cultural resources, and the impact was not too great.
"There are definitely risks, but they are not as high as everyone imagined. As for the Magic City, let's move first! To make the momentum of cooperation, I think the Magic City still wants this first theme park in China. After all, Disney in Xiangdao is first, and they can't get the first one."
Wang Huan has his own opinion on this, and what are the demons? He is known as the Eastern Paris and the Pearl of Asia. He definitely has the idea of pursuing the first place in everything. If they didn’t have the idea of replacing it with an ordinary company, even if he had money, he would not be able to defeat the brand effect and influence of Dinis and their rich experience. However, the consortium of Kings and two other comics and magazines is different. In terms of cultural heritage, it is not inferior to each other. You have Disney animation stars such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, and we also have a large number of local animations such as Doraemon Trouble and New Fuxing Boy Dragon Ball. In terms of this, we also have a large number of famous novels and various mythological stories, and the historical heritage is far beyond that of each other. You will be satisfied with a Western cowboy. We have the essence from ancient times to the Republic of China.
As long as the leaders of the Demon City are not brainless, they will naturally understand the importance of promoting our own local culture. Even if they lack experience, it is acceptable. Moreover, these three companies are all giants in both the officialdom and the business world, which is enough to offset this advantage. With the help of the banner of the development of the animation industry emphasized by the central government, this opportunity would be great. If Disney has already agreed with the Demon City in a few years, it would be impossible to get involved.
Once a large company like Kings Group moves, it is naturally very efficient. Market research, location selection, and recruitment of relevant talents are in an orderly manner. They even started to contact top-level architecture firms. The news soon spread, including the smithg, which was designed for Disneyland.
Top architectural firms including Oup Firm have come to China to try to get a share of the pie.
Of course, this news also made the American Disney Company get it. If it were a normal company to do this, they would never care. However, Wang Huan's King Entertainment Company was not included. It was a company that was analyzed by the company's think tank to call it the biggest rival. Once the other party enters the theme park industry, it is definitely not a joke. With the other party's local culture and rich cultural heritage of animation games and novels, they plan to build the second Disneyland in China in mainland China, and they may face the most terrifying competitive pressure.
The Magic City government was also caught off guard. The news that Kings Entertainment Group, Huaxia Comics and Youth Comics jointly issued a joint news that the Magic City cooperated to establish a new company to establish the largest theme park in Asia was by no means a joke. The influence, connections, and financial resources are among the best. Even if they compete with Disney, they have enough advantages, which makes them in a dilemma.
At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Demon City, the Standing Committee members of the Demon City no longer had the leisure of the past. As an international city directly under the central government that can be comparable to the capital, the Standing Committee members of the Demon City are not a small person. They are well-informed, but there are very few things to compete with two giant-level group companies to compete with them!
The Standing Committee members have their own plans in their hearts, and of course there are factions in the Standing Committee of the Demon City. The most basic mayor and the Municipal Party Committee will naturally have their own faction, but the Demon City has another group of local factions. Although the number of members of the Standing Committee is not large, most of the leaders of the middle and lower levels are in the same mind as them. Most of the time, their approach is to support whoever they are good for the local area. Now this meeting is still a foreign giant, which depends on the ability of both parties.
Wang Huan and Prince Li discussed with him. According to the relationship between the three parties, they finally remember that this faction is close to them. Whether it is Wang Huan's military relationship or government relationship, they can have a relationship with the other party. Prince Li's family also has a relatively close relationship with the other party. On the contrary, the mayor's faction is not deeply related to them and is mostly in competitive relationships. Naturally, they have to leave the faction. Although Disney's relationship in China is not necessarily very strong, they are close to the mayor. Perhaps they think that the mayor has the final say, but unfortunately most of them have the final say in China.
At the beginning, the Standing Committee members of the two sides began to uplift each other and belittle the enemy. The mayor clerks Wang Huan and his team to the point where they do not have enough experience as a handle to press forward step by step, but they also make a clear statement about the solid acceptance of the domestic foundation and in line with the national policy support.
However, the local faction finally decided the winner and the defeat. What made them excited was Wang Huan or the other two. Not only did the investment amount be greater than Disney, but they also promised to give each other more local people's positions. Disney is much worse in this regard. This is the power of connections in the Celestial Dynasty. Among these three, the Youth Comics Magazine is rooted in the Magic City, and there are too many relationships in this regard.
